If you’re a fan of How I Met Your Mother, then you’ve probably watched the series more than once, twice, or three times and because of that, you’ve probably inevitably started to adopt Ted Mosby’s hopeless romantic take on love.
He thinks every next girl could be his soulmate. He professes his love far too often and far too soon. He always hopes for the best out of the relationship even if the universe is sending every sign that it’s not meant to be. And when he dives into love, he loves every girl with everything he’s got and more.
If you identify with Ted Mosby, you’ll love these quotes with all of your being just like Ted does with every new woman in his life…
“If you’re looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how much it destroys you, it’s love. And when you love someone you don’t stop, ever. Even when people roll their eyes, and call you crazy. Even then. Especially then.”
“Shouldn’t we hold out for the person who doesn’t just tolerate our little quirks but actually kinda likes them?”
“Love doesn’t make sense! You can’t logic your way into or out of it. Love is totally nonsensical. But we have to keep doing it or else we’re lost and love is dead, and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do.”
“You will be shocked, kids, when you discover how easy it is in life to part ways with people forever. That’s why, when you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it.”
“You see, kids, right from the moment I met your mom I knew, I have to love this woman as much as I can, and as long as I can, and I can never stop loving her, not even for a second. I carried that lesson through every stupid fight we ever had, every 5 a.m. Christmas morning, every sleepy Sunday afternoon, every speed bump, every pang of jealousy or boredom or uncertainty that came our way. I carried that lesson with me.”
“Some couples always support each other, and some couples always challenge each other. But is one really better than the other? Yes. Support is better. Way better.”
“There are two big days in any love story: the day you meet the girl of your dreams and the day you marry her.”
“She walks down the aisle. You say your vows, you go to the reception, you have your first dance. Before you know it, just like magic, you realize, it’s a perfect fit.”
“None of us can vow to be perfect. In the end all we can do is promise to love each other with everything we’ve got.”
“You can ask the universe for signs all you want. But ultimately we only see what we want to see, when we are ready to see it.”
“If I could give up…if i could just wake the whole world’s advice and just move on and find someone else, that wouldn’t be love. That would be some other disposable thing that is not worth fighting for.”
Be a Ted Mosby this Valentine’s Day. Love with all you’ve got and put yourself out there without fear of rejection.
